A, Great OIL Wen.

FosroR1A, Ohio, Sept. 13.-James
Tomiinson, of north Baltimore, dug a
well for water and struck Ill. He re-
solved 10 go deeper, and oil appeared in
greater quantities. The well was shot
with nitro glycerine with an astonishing
result. Oil rose in a solid body TO the
height of l20 feet, and five thousand
barrels were tanked in six hours. 1t is
believed to be the greatest flow in the
world, The oil became saturated with
gas and was thrown into the air like
rain. Everything for half a mile from
the well is dripping with oil. It fills the
air like a cloud. The pressure is SO great
that the well can not be plugged. 1t Is
estimated that $1,000, 900 feet of gas and
two thousand barrels of oil are escaping
daily.

made the facts known to a small posse
composed of the gang. A meeting in a
densely thicketed section was at once de-
cided on for the purpose of taking action
regarding what disposition should be-
made of Wilson. The meeting was held
and the same night the Caps, includ-
Ing the son, went to the home OF Wilson.

the door he was told what was wanted.
He declined to go, standing
defantly, with an occasional expression
OF indignation over the thought of being
SO ruthlessly invaded a { such an unsea-
sonable hour of night. Suddenly "a
masked man seized Wilson by the arm
and demanded him to come on" In an
instant he was overpowered by several
more and dragged to the wayside, dashed
to q tree, and switched. After being re-
leased he saw in front of him a heavy
hickory club, which he seized aud felled
two OF his antagonists to the ground in

ceived the injuries cited. To the aues-
ton what became of the son the old nan.

II know not, nor do I care, 1 have
treated him with more than a fathsrly
affection, and why he should go against
me is something beyond nay power to
comprehend. Wilson will not return
to Crawford, but goes to Lstwrenceburg.
where he has friends.

he intended to resign from his Office I'm
mediately after the Minneapolis convsn-
ton. the first Monday In October:
There seems to be q mistake current
as t whszft the terms OF the general on

officers elected at the Richmond eonyen-
tion last year were chosen for two years,

LEAKS OUT DOWN IN JERSEY.
a smalll Sized noom for Hewitt for
President.

President.
TRENTON, N. j., Sept 13.-It has
leaked out here that Abram S. Hewitt,
mayor OF New York, means to enter tie
list for the presidential nomination next
year at the hands ot the democratic
party. 1t leaks out here because here is
where Mr.. Hewitt's business interests
are, and here are his partners in the iron
and steel industry. The story Is that
Hewitt is very angry at Cleveland, and
proposes to do everything he can to de-
feat him. His real reason for that lis
personal. The presidents order issued
early in his administration, to remove
the wire fences on government lands cut
west, caused q loss to Hewitt of nearly
$500, 600. He was very much interested
In cattle ranching, and the order affected
that interest. Then he was very much
Interested In the barbed wire industry,
and that was affected also by the order.
1t is said that the Hewitt Arm were all
indignant, including ex-Mayor Edward
Cooper, 4 son of the late Peter Cooper. It
II understood that both Mr.. Hewitt and
Mr. Cooper went to Cleveland, and urged
him not to make the order. But it was
useless The president was bound to is
u the order. Hewitt was all the more
angry because he had given his check for
VS., 900 to help elect Cleveland.
Mr.. Hewitt's plan Is said to be very ag-
gressive in character. His idea Is to
arouse some Of the big manufacturers to
take a hand In the nomination and then
have himself doomed for the place. But,
whatever his plans are, 1t Is certainly in
the air that Hewott is to he y leading
candidate, and that Cleveland has
Learned Of the intention of his coming
competitor. As mayor of New York
MI. Hewitt certainly has considerable
pull; that here he is very popular, es-
pecially among his employees, and his
friends say he he AN have some of the
Jersey delegates next year If he wants
them.

PLUCK VERSUS LUCK.

There was a man which his name was NILS.
Which he owned farm all stones and hills;
He was one OF these fe!lers that keerfully till
HIS land an by keepn up with his Oils,
Without foolin' with lawyers OF MAXIM G
wills,
When he died, his boys had sight o land.
Ben was q SLOUGH from heel to crown,
He looked at the valleys an hillsides brown,
.'Tney amt with a cent, ne SAID, Win
frown;
Then he blamed his luck an went TO town,
An bought some ticker an poured it down,
An somehow forgot all about the land.
But Jones, the youngest, he want no shirk,
He rolled up his sleeves an he went TO work,
An he stuck to his business ike a reg lar. lurA
Study like, an keerful, not with jerk
Jist enough TO make i'm enjoy his pork
An the beans what he raised on the sandy
land.
Ben lowed 'tra'n't no use to tend that farm,
But Jones didn't seem to feel no alarm;
Somehow or 'nuthcr he found a charm
in a wllin' mind an s!nery arm,
An reckoned at least ii wan no harm,
To make all he could from the pesky land.
So he piled up the stones std O. loafin' in
town,
He planted his corn an the hillsides brown,
An ditched the low land an seeded it down.
In little while like golden crown.
The ripe grain waved. an no trace OF brown,
For the grass an grain could be seen on the
land.
Five years passed by with Ben an Jones,
When Ben in the sorrowfulest kind Of tones,
Said: "Wife, I'm tired OF these ole stones,
An seem my stock all skin an bones,
An a livin' along on corn bread pones,
All blamed ef 1 amt goin' to sell my land"
The man what'll work s the one to win.
An Jones had worked hard an saved his tin,
An the time had come when he could begin
To set 'roUn' without committin' sin,
An, Ben's land was for sale so he bought it in,
An it come about he owned all o. the land.
Now Ben as he'd got some ready cash,
Moved to town an went to cuttin' o dash;
He fed on the finest kind of hash,
An throwed that money aroun' like trash,
But as such fellers will he had to smash,
An then he had neither money nor land.
An now he was pore as pore could be,
An Jones let him live in his house, rent free;
But he want bit thankful: why, look,'
says he,
''TIe's so Stuck up an proud any one can see,
Kase he's had better luck he feels above me,
An hits mean after he's cheated me outen my
land"
Jones offered i'm work but he declined,
An told i'm to remember an bear in mind,
e. he he'd forgot, an was so unlxind,
That they were brothers. Though he'd tried to
grind
An bring him down he'd very soon find
He couldn't scyooge him, If he did git is land"
But now as Ben We mought say he'd struck,
Jones jest went off an of course, he tuck
An hired chap made O. better truck,
While Ben sat aroun' an moaned about luck;
When 'twa'n't notnin' on 'arth but want o.
pluck,
An proper git up to tend his land.
